Synopsis:
After returning to Japan from Paris and excelling as an Olympic-level equestrian, Kaoru Mizuho's life at an elite high school takes a dramatic turn when she forms a unique bond with her classmate Emiko Kubo, sharing not only the same Horoscope sign but also a shocking family secret that threatens to unravel their worlds.
I'm excited to present my first subbed Daiei drama, Aries no Otometachi. As a big fan of Sukeban shows, seeing some of the shared cast members in this drama motivated me to take on this project as my first of these.
As far as I know, given that this is a complete series batch release, this might be the first Showa Daiei drama fully subbed in English, and I'm thrilled to be the one delivering it to you. I've timed these subs with the RAWs available on Dailymotion, found available to download above. Unfortunately, these RAWs don't include the opening credits, but I couldn't find another version, so these will have to do.
If everything works out, I may end up working on more Daei dramas in the future. As usual, this project was earsubbed, so excuse any and all inaccuracies. Enjoy!
2024 UPDATE: I'm thrilled to present a vastly improved encode release, sourced directly from the original DVDs. This version features proper deinterlacing and includes the full episode runtime of 45 minutes and 22 seconds, complete with the opening! A special thanks to NUREN² for providing the extremely rare and expensive out-of-print DVD volumes, which often go for nearly four digits. This preservation effort wouldn't have been possible without NUREN's support. The old links have been replaced with this superior version. Enjoy the definitive edition of this project!
